AJ is a straight up jerk, so expect that to change. One must wonder why him and Bonds really never hit it off together, because they have such similar personalities... In seriousness, I really like AJ this year. Balls fly out of the Cell, and he was already one of the best RBI catchers. He should hit plenty of HR and RBI in the Cell.

But what if he's traded, especially for those of us in an AL-only league?

I can't really tell that. Of course its a risk and a possibility, but its sort of hard to predict if he will actually be traded. If you are worried, wait for some production, then trade him for a better catcher, and then hope he gets traded to the NL, and then laugh.

75 Runs 12 HR 85 RBI's .300 avg in close to 500 AB's.

Top 5 in Runs, RBI's and Avg. and Top 10 in HR's. Similar value to guys like Posada but going way, way lower.

I also see AJ as due for a bounce-back this year, and I've been targeting him as well. But the projected lineups I've seen have him batting seventh or eighth in the lineup, which makes me skeptical that he'll get quite the run and RBI numbers that you've predicted. I think it might be more reasonable to expect something like:

Then keep AJ on your team and hope that he goes to another hitter friendly park.
